interface II


So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

miss potter
I woke up this morning, headed straight into my parents room where an old cupboard stood, unopened for years I reckon. I reached into it and knew exactly what I was looking for. Surely, it didn't take me long to pull out my copy of the complete all-in-one collection of The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. I dusted its cover and began reading its yellow-edged pages.

Watching Miss Potter gave me quite a new insight into this all time favourite children's book and reading it in that light totally made sense, now that I understood the significance of her works and the almost tragic love story unfolding behind it.

Then I headed back to that same old cupboard and grabbed my huge ancient album of that good ol' tour of England in 2000. What really struck me was how ignorant I was then. Standing amongst the landscape that inspired the literary giants of all time, I didn't quite appreciate nature and the significance of things the way I do now. I was there, at Bowness-on-Windermere, the Lake District - the very source of Beatrix Potter's inspiration, seeing the rolling hills and the vast greenery as she did, yet I really took the trip for granted. (We were all only looking forward to London at the end of the tour. Ah city life.)

On hindsight, that England trip was really something. We visited Thomas Hardy's hometown at Dorchester, the Roman Baths where Jane Austen wrote Persuasion, Rydal Mount which was Wordworth's home, Shakespeare's birthplace, the Bronte's Parsonage and even stood on the very plains where Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre. If I had the chance, I'll do that all over again and boy how much I would have appreciated it more this time.

So anyway, here's my very own copy, bought no less from The World of Beatrix Potter at Bowness-on-Windermere, Lake District. And beside it, my photos from that UK trip. Top to bottom: The Lake District, Street Flowers and finally, me with Mrs Tiggy-Winkle at The World of Beatrix Potter attraction.
